That little square electronic deal you mentioned is indeed a rectifier bridge. The motors in these compressors run on 120v DC @ 4 - 6 Amps they're about a 500-700watt motor. Could be wrong but that's what I've been able to gather. Also that rectifier bridge is a common cause of fuses blowing or the breakers popping as they tend to short out and go bad on the AC input side. P/N on that rectifier is typically *KBPC608*

This helped me with wiring. With the reset switch and the main power switch. Disconnect the wires not thinking about taking a picture for when I put it back together SMH. So what I did is watched your video paused at the right time and zoomed in thank you so much

Thank you sir 👍

Chicago Pneumatic and Central Pneumatic tools are often mixed up. Seems it's a very common thing for some reason to be determined at a later date.

It takes about 4 minutes to get to the 100 psi, where it will stop automatically. If it can't get to 100 psi, then you likely have a reed valve that's broke or it has come loose. Easy fix.

Love your show ! I mess with air compressors too. I recently worked on my buddy's wheelhorse tractor ,which needed a new drive belt. It fixed it and he gave me a 1967 kargard 20 gallon floor mount air compressor. I was happy 🙂. Keep up the great work. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

Great video. Found mine at the dump. A 5$ switch took it from the trash heap to the tool shed. Really well done and precise.

I have the same compressor. I bought it in July and it had already stopped working. I was about to go spend 60+ dollars on another one when I thought to check out KZfaq to see if there was an easy fix for it. Your video helped immensely. I checked the switch like you did and sure enough, that was the problem. I found a switch identical to the one you used at Lowe’s and thanks to your video, my compressor is working perfectly again. Thanks for saving me 60 bucks!

Good job, and I like the rope idea, I found a 3.5hp 3.5gal craftsman oiless compressor in the trash, all it needed was a switch too, and I had to find screws as well, I use it in my work van, for small engines, I've had it and use it all the time for the past 6 years, and over the years I have gotten bigger and bigger compressors for free, just needed a few things to fix em, my pancake one I mentioned, a Buffalo 30gal, 6hp, oiled, a Campbell & Hausfeld 15gal oiless 4.5hp, and a Ingersoll rand 20 gal 6hp beast, and my last a 240volt 60 gal 10hp beast sears and roebuck cast iron dual piston 1977....the best and quickest compressor I've ever owned... And so quiet... All it needed was a good cleaning and the airfilter changed.

I had the same problem. The identical switch, HY35C was $20 on amazon. I found one for $4 and it worked.

Haha, victory. Love it👍

Nice job! I'm the same way, it really is bad how much people waist, toss out items that with a bit of tinkering can be made useful again. I subscribed to the channel so I can see what kind of things you come across...I know I find stuff out in the trash a lot and I'm given stuff because people know I like to tinker with fixing different things...keep up thr good work!

Fantastic. Job.

Nice to repair things to avoid the land-fill, or at least see if a simple repair like this. I drive a 1984 M-B diesel car I bought for $400. It had only one main problem which I fixed with my $89 HF wire-welder (first time welding). It served one son well for 10 years from college senior thru medical school and residency, and now me. Here because I'm fixing my larger HF dual-tank air compressor which stopped going above 40 psig..

I love it! I have the same compressor and afraid to "dig" into it, and you made it easier for me if repairs are needed! and I believe that I am NUMBER 3 as subscriber! Bring us MORE!

Hi my friend I hope you still doing this type of videos thank you

Yes sir you really know how to save a Buck!!!!👀💯

Will that same test work on the reset button?

Or Tinkering Nut for short 😊👍 thanks! a lot of people throw things away that just need a little “tinkering”

I found a nice task force 3 gallon air compressor at goodwill for 3.99 dollars it works great was a good find

How do I check the rectifier?

Hello Juggernaut, Nice intro and video. I'm glad to be subscriber number 2. I look forward to seeing your future videos. I like to see your mindset of fixing and repairing items. And like that if you cant fix, you are looking to re-purpose items. Keep up the good work.

Thank you The Tinkering Juggernaut. Enjoyed watching your video. You are great. 2 thumbs up for you. I have never owned one before, but thinking of buying one soon.

Theres A rectifier inside that goes bad from the AC to DC current voltage that controls the motor.& switches to ir.

I just fixed one.put tension on brush

Mine works but won’t hold air pressure. How do you check the seals or o ring in between the compressor and tank?

Witch transforms it over from AC to DC current power.

Can you tell me what the actual what psi is the pressure relief valve Thx Sir(Subscribed)

Growing up poor,I found stuff and disassembled stuff for fun and adventure

I have a compressor the same, the problem is that the automatic does not work any idea how to repair it?

Review was 2017, 1 years ago. Is it still alive? My guess based on mine, and reviews, probably not..

Just back off the red pressure knob and it will not let any air out.

For less than $40.00 you could have bought a brand new one. Just sayin'.
